Street photography can follow two paths: one of patience and planning, and another of spontaneity. Fan Ho captured dramatic scenes through thoughtful observation of light and shadow. In contrast, Helen Levitt photographed New York’s lively streets with spontaneity, catching unplanned, energetic moments. Regardless of approach, intuition is key in street photography, guiding photographers to be present, notice details, and capture meaningful images that connect deeply with the moment.

Style in photography goes beyond repeating frames or using filters. It’s not about sticking to specific subjects but expressing deeper qualities like humor, sensitivity, or melancholy. Style evolves with artistic growth and personal experiences. True style reflects authentic emotions and personal vision, not just imitation or popularity. Be genuine and embrace the joy of photography.
